Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever)
Dogs seem to be prone to picking up spores because of their behavior, sniffing the ground. Desert southwest is the prime area, but there have been cases a little beyond the strict geographic area (but not too far out). Not all dogs (or people) exposed to the spores get sick, fortunately.
Glad to hear that Calvin is doing well.
